Nancy Regan leaving ATV
gman
by Starr Dobson...talk about beauty and the beast...Nancy has it all,
she's articulate, smart (seemingly) and she's a babe. I'm still upset
that they got rid of Cindy Burgess and kept the Frisko kid....what a
mistake that was.
Sam Spam
Her voice was not good for a TV/Radio personality so I tend to believe it..
I understand people liked her but she sounded like a box of harpies or a
little boy going through a voice change..
I could not view without that feeling someone was scraping fingers over a
chalk board.

Everyone to their opinion. Some women no doubt think that Mad's Alfred E.
Newman is a handsome dude.
But I wouldn't kick her out of bed for eating crackers!
As has been mentioned she most likely got the job in the first place because
of political connections.
Her sister has done quite well in the acting business and now Nancy will try
to prove to the world that she "can do anything better than you".
In she didn't do all that bad of a job but she has some most annoying
habits;
!. Giggling like a bunch of 13 year old girls at a pyjama party.
2. Looking so stuned a lot of the time. The eyebrows raised with that blank
look.
3. Ever see those little dogs that people put on the back shelf of their
cars whose heads bob up and down? Guess where they came up with the idea for
them?
But then I guees not all of us can be perfect!

Good god, no. You mean "rip and read" Mairianna? She is pretty awful when
it comes to reporting a story. If nobody gives her a press release she is
pretty much out of luck. I think Don Henley was thinking of her when he
wrote "Dirty Laundry". ;-)
Of course, I still miss ASN's former lovelies, Cindy Burgess and Joanne
Nugent. There is someone at CBC who is absolutely lovely *and* smart, who
is badly underused: Laurie Graham. Maybe ATV should court her.

** That is also possible in today's world, Sheena. But seriously, I
believe she got there on her abilities, not the other. She has a
personality that simply exudes from her through the TV, and as I said, she
really likes her job.
Now, if you want to talk poor broadcasting, you must have seen Elizabeth

not clear braces instead of the metal ones? My God, woman, you're on TV!

as far as keeping the Frisko kid, welll that is a good thing.. Even though
Cindy may look better to you, the kid comes across with the news much better
then she did. So all in all, its good to see Nancy going and its great
having the Frisko kid on air. ( he is even beter then Steve) ,,,,,,,,,,,,,

Murphy passed on? I could only bear to watch him because I wanted to see the
news. I felt sorry for people who had no other choice. Nancy was not too bad.
Compared to Steve, she was marvelous.

Maybe she did get in the door with connections....but she's been there
for 15 years, no one keeps their job for 15 years on connections
unless your parents own the company !! IMO Nancy does a first rate
job, I've never met her but I've been watching ATV for quite some
time...long enough to remember Dave Wright.

Nancy Reagan leaving would be no loss to me. She may be pretty but she has
little on air personality.
Personally, I read the news online. I usually just scan local news because
there is no local good reporting that I can find. I mostly get information
off of CBC. That's no guarantee of great reporting either..but it is
presented a bit more factually. I like visiting their local websites across
the country. I read the local news for BC and Vancouver because my daughter
is there.
It would be nice to have a good home-grown local news program.

I don't much care for the six o'clock news style that ATV and Global
offer -- all the local, national, and world news mixed together in one
broadcast. I much preferred MITV's way of doing things: a half hour
of local news followed by a half hour of national and world news.
As a result, if I tune into CTV at all, it's at 11:00pm for the
national news broadcast.

As far as Nancy Regan leaving. Good riddance. May she can be a
permanent fixture at her daddy's future court appearances and giggle
and laugh at the women's testimonies like she did in the past trial.
How he got off is a wonder, no wait..money..oh yes that's why. Anyways
not seeing her on my TV will be a welcome treat. Can't wait till April
4th.

** Dave was tops. He's responsible for the total revamping of the format
now known as "Live At Five". For some reason, I feel he would be none too
happy with the way the show has evolved. Dave was a newsman first, but
coupled that with a warm, personable approach to subjects both local and
national. I seem to recall the reason he left was health-related. Wasn't
it his heart?

really short (5'2, 5'3) so when he is on they either show a front angle, or
have the camera lowered to make him look taller. This fact alone would mean
nothing if he didnt have the air of arrogance surrounding him which he does.

readers, they don't do much more...so the idea is to have articulate
people who sound reasonably intelligent and look good (yes, that IS
part of the formula...sex does sell !). Cindy is very attractive and
very well spoken, much more so than Bruce (IMHO) !

I met Steve a few times (any news guy that eats Bash donairs can't be
all bad). He's pretty good, I find the entire ATV news team pretty
good...not too excited about Starr Dobson or that idiot from
BT...Scott Boyd is it ? Some reporters are better than others....I get
a kick out of Dan MaaaaaCIntosh. I trust them which is likely why
Steve Murphy has high ratings, he's a trusted anchor. He may be on the
heals of Lloyd for the national news.

Steve Murphy is NOT 5'2 or 5'3. I've met him and stood beside him.
He's about 5'6 to 5'7.

Ah, Steve is ok - he takes his own dry cleaning in and doesn't need an
'assistant' to handle such mundane chores. And he wrote that book too with all
the profits going to Christmas Daddies and the IWK, at least Steve isn't in love
with himself like that wannabe GQ-type Bruce Frisko.

I thought that we had a pretty good local news when MITV was around.
I recall anchors like Doug Vaesen(sp?), Laura Lee Langley, and several
that came before them that had a Very local feel... which I liked.
They'd slip up now and then, get into a little banter, always
smiled... didn't have that unattached "corporate professional"
presentation.
On one occasion in 1990/1, my aunt was up from Sydney, and she tuned
in. After the broadcast, almost feeling as though she were welcomed
to Halifax by it, she exclaimed, "What a Nice bunch of people!!"

Supposedly Marianna B worked for Entertainment Tonight before coming

I thought Mairianna worked for CJCB in Sydney? A long way from ET. I think
the closest she'd ever come to that was watching Mary Hart and wishing
she was her. As for her "connections", they are the same as any other
entertainment reporter - she is totally dependent on press agents and
movie tours to get any access at all.
As you may have gathered, I don't think she's very good.
